Bad idea to just ship after only 3 months?

Prior experience in insurance risk/underwriting (3 YOE), first role in FP&A (financial analyst 3), MCOL/HCOL city with $85K base, no sign, no bonus, no equity. Fully remote (45-50 hour per week), manage $200M P&L.

Have appied to Finance Manager roles, got some interviews. Targeting $130K base but know I can land $120K for an onsite position.

Have BA Econ, MS Fin, MBA

If you can land a manager role with that significant of an increase in salary, do it.

Your post doesn’t really explain why you think you’re qualified for a manager role after 3 months in the role and a few years of unrelated experience in another business field. It’s not likely unless I’m overlooking something here.

The role you have pays somewhere between slightly below to just about market for your background and the fact it’s fully remote. You’re struggling with it because you want to live in a major city. You’ll need to find something local or consider relocating to take advantage of the remote work.

You better have a good story since this was a pivot role and you’re almost immediately leaving it claiming you should be promoted.

My combined experience is the reason I am qualified for a manager role. I have led a team in my prior role. I have demonstrated in the past that I am able to define problems, seek & collect data, establish facts, and draw valid conclusions to be able to create and deliver presentations to senior management. Moreover, my motive for getting an MBA was solely for me to shift into a management role (I did not need an MBA given my existing master’s in finance already held it weight in the market). Further, this new role did not come with a pay increase with respect to my prior role, but this new role does provide me more access to C-level management and the associated stress that come along with competing priorities. I also believe my new role is a management role in nature just not in title or pay.

You’ve been in a new role for 3 mos?

Fully remote but still in a HCOL city seems like something to reconsider. If you’re dead set on HCOL then better pay would be worth looking for imo

Bread is expensive these days so get it! Haha if you can ever get a 50% raise by switching I think you should take it.
